| * | tcp: connect() race with timewait reuseEric Dumazet2009-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Its currently possible that several threads issuing a connect() find the same timewait socket and try to reuse it, leading to list corruptions. Condition for bug is that these threads bound their socket on same address/port of to-be-find timewait socket, and connected to same target. (SO_REUSEADDR needed) To fix this problem, we could unhash timewait socket while holding ehash lock, to make sure lookups/changes will be serialized. Only first thread finds the timewait socket, other ones find the established socket and return an EADDRNOTAVAIL error. This second version takes into account Evgeniy's review and makes sure inet_twsk_put() is called outside of locked sections.

| | * | Bluetooth: Implement RejActioned flagGustavo F. Padovan2009-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RejActioned is used to prevent retransmission when a entity is on the WAIT_F state, i.e., waiting for a frame with F-bit set due local busy condition or a expired retransmission timer. (When these two events raise they send a frame with the Poll bit set and enters in the WAIT_F state to wait for a frame with the Final bit set.) The local entity doesn't send I-frames(the data frames) until the receipt of a frame with F-bit set. When that happens it also set RejActioned to false. RejActioned is a mandatory feature of ERTM spec. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

Until now we aren't setting the ReqSeq value on I-frame control bits. That way we can save sending S-frames(Supervise frames) only to acknowledge receipt of I-frames. It is very helpful to the full-duplex channel. ReqSeq is the packet sequence number sent in an acknowledgement frame to acknowledge receipt of frames up to (ReqSeq - 1). BufferSeq controls the receiver buffer, it is used to delay acknowledgement of new frames to not cause buffer overflow. BufferSeq value is not increased until frames are pulled by reassembly function. Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <gustavo@las.ic.unicamp.br> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

Instead I purge all timewait sockets from dead network namespaces that I find. If the namespace is one of the once I am trying to purge I am guaranteed no new timewait sockets can be formed so this will get them all. If the namespace is one I am not acting for it might form a few more but I will call inet_twsk_purge again and shortly to get rid of them. In any even if the network namespace is dead timewait sockets are useless. Move the calls of inet_twsk_purge into batch_exit routines so that if I am killing a bunch of namespaces at once I will just call inet_twsk_purge once and save a lot of redundant unnecessary work. My simple 4k network namespace exit test the cleanup time dropped from roughly 8.2s to 1.6s. While the time spent running inet_twsk_purge fell to about 2ms. 1ms for ipv4 and 1ms for ipv6.

For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional space (taking alignment into consideration). There are no additions to tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock. This is a significantly revised implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/102586 The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce, instead of a user configured offset in the data. This is more flexible and less subject to user configuration error. Such a cookie option has been suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing several related concepts to use the same extension option.

When using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called as the device uninit methods are no longer safe. To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after all of the network namespace exit routines have run. Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace data to be managed for you automatically. This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h They will be removed once all of the users have been updated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Either because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing together. To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches up all remaining network devices and deletes them. An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct with a list_head. In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds (at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly unregistered last. Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final synchronize_net. Cc: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current implementation of max.burst ends up limiting new data during cwnd decay period. The decay is happening becuase the connection is idle and we are allowed to fill the congestion window. The point of max.burst is to limit micro-bursts in response to large acks. This still happens, as max.burst is still applied to each transmit opportunity. It will also apply if a very large send is made (greater then allowed by burst).

| | * | | | sctp: Turn the enum socket options into definesVlad Yasevich2009-11-23

The reason is that it changes the subsequent enum space and causes option values to be redefined. To solve this, and to get rid of the ugly double statements for every option, we simply convert to the #define scheme. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
| | * | | | sctp: Remove useless last_time_used variableVlad Yasevich2009-11-23

It was only used when determining if CWND needs to be updated due to idle transport. However, idle transport detection was based on a Heartbeat timer and last_time_used was not incremented when sending Heartbeats. As a result the check for cwnd reduction was always true. We can get rid of the variable and just base our cwnd manipulation on the HB timer (like the code comment sais). We also have to call into the cwnd manipulation function regardless of whether HBs are enabled or not. That way we will detect idle transports if the user has disabled Heartbeats.

That a lot more SACKs then necessary. Instead, we'll now send back the actuall window every time we send a sack, and do window-update SACKs when a fraction of the receive buffer has been opened. The fraction is controlled with a sysctl. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

Section 4.1. Sender Side Considerations Whenever the sender of a DATA chunk can benefit from the corresponding SACK chunk being sent back without delay, the sender MAY set the I-bit in the DATA chunk header. Reasons for setting the I-bit include o The sender is in the SHUTDOWN-PENDING state. o The application requests to set the I-bit of the last DATA chunk of a user message when providing the user message to the SCTP implementation.

For compatibility, both attributes are dumped to userspace, and we also accept both attributes, but prefer the new syntax. If no truncation length is specified, or the authentication algorithm is specified using xfrm_algo, the truncation length from the algorithm description in the kernel is used.

Every time this happens we print a deauth message and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that. The patch looks larger than it really is: __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

This isn't really necessary, only the injected frames need TX status (the latter for hostapd) so move setting this flag. The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but they don't require it. Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and seems to require it being set for all frames, but that can be fixed in rt2x00. This doesn't really change anything for any drivers but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may opt to not report TX status for frames that don't have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev) and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the 4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Therefore generic software rate control is rather useless for them and just adds avoidable overhead to the transmit path. It's fairly simple to let drivers indicate that they do not need rate control, but they need to fulfil a number of conditions that we encode in WARN_ONs.
